While ticks are not insects, the whole point is to make the area more liveable for many local animals. I don’t think you can exclude ticks from that.
Maybe you can lightly fence off some areas so the dogs don’t go there.

Is there a way to have more native plants growing without increasing ticks? I just bought a house and have a couple areas it would be great to not have to maintain, but I have dogs and don’t wanna have to worry about ticks.

Good thing I didn’t call them insects then. Unfortunately fences won’t stop ticks as they jump and ticks won’t respect the boundary.

So you put up a fence to keep dogs out? Or to keep mother nature in?

Get more native plants. Take rid of dogs. Get chickens.

You’ll have to decide which plants are native to your area, but there are certainly plants that ticks don’t like.
